On the subject of death and how to use it—whether as a source of fear or as an advisor for a life fully lived—Osho speaks in a profoundly beautiful way.

Avoid paralysis at all costs
“Fears are nothing more than states of mind. Napoleon Hill said that, and he was right. The moment you feel that you are afraid of something, ask yourself, ‘Why am I making this real? What is it inside of me that is making me do this?’ There is a huge difference between fear and caution. […]

David Gordon on The fear of self-love
According to David Gordon, one of the three basic human fears is the fear of self-love. I had never considered that there could be such a fear.

Osho: From Fear to Freedom
“It is natural for a man to be afraid, to tremble. If you accept it, if you say that this is how life is, if you accept it totally, the trembling stops immediately, and the fear—that very same energy which was fear—uncoils like a spring and becomes freedom.” — Osho

Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry—all forms of fear—are caused by too much future and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past and not enough presence.” — Eckhart Tolle

It refers to one of the stories in the book — the case of long-term alcoholism lasting more than four decades.I am skipping much of the explanation about why a soul might choose such a heavy life challenge as alcoholism — this could be the subject […]

Reclaim your personal power
“There are thousands of agreements you have made with yourself, with other people, with your dream of life, with God, with society, with your parents, with your spouse and with your children. But the most important agreements are those made with yourself. In them, you declare who you are, what you feel, what you believe, […]

Living Beyond Patterns
**Fear comes into being when I want to fit into a certain pattern.To live without fear means to live outside patterns.The desire to live in a certain way is a source of fear. The difficulties I experience arise from my desire to live within fixed frameworks.** Paraphrased from Jiddu Krishnamurti
